Baby "sprinkle"

My good friend will be having a baby in May and I am giving her a baby sprinkle! A sprinkle is for a 2nd, 3rd ect.. child in case you didn't know what a sprinkle was. I know I hadn't heard the term before a friend told me..lol.. She loves monkeys and that is the theme they have gone with for the new baby's nursery. I wanted to make invites that matched the bedding and these were what I came up with.

The invites are a standard A2 size, the cream card stock is cut 1/4" smaller and then I used my corner chomper for the cloud corners. The monkey is cut from Create a Critter at 3.75" I only used the monkey's head, I also had to cut off the arm and reposition them on the invite.  The zebra paper is a strip if white card stock that I ran through my Cuttlebug the folder is from Sizzix and I don't have the name but it looks like zebra to me. All I did to it was color in the raised parts with black to really make it pop. I then added a banner with the new baby's name for a personal touch. The banner is from Carousel, I had to weld 2 of them together on my Gypsy and then trimmed off what I didn't need. the Banner was cut at 2.09". I printed off the poem and info on vellum and corner chomped just the bottom corners. I finished them off by adding a tiny flower and gem to the monkey and a touch of purple sparkle to the ears. TFL

Christmas cards!!

 I used 3 Birds on Parade for this one. The bird was cut at 3.25". I used stickles on the lights and some left over scrap ribbon. The paper comes from a stack called Harvest and Holiday. The stamp is from Technique Tuesday. I also put the wings of the bird through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder.

 Another bird from the smae cart, this has to be one of my favorite cartridges! I used the sme paper oack for this card. I just cut a strip of the presents out to use as a border. The bird was cut at 3.24" using my Gypsy. I stickled the white on the hat. I can't remember where the stamp came from but I believe it was Inkadoo.

 I used the Christmas Cartridge on this one. I finally recieved my Gypsy back from PC they had it for 3 weeks! This cart was one of the free uploads. The tree was cut at 4.53" and I hen added different colored stickles to it so it would look like it had ornaments. The white backround paper was cut to look like it has little hills and then run through the Cuttlebug for a swirly snow effect. The blue paper was also put through the cuttlebug and I don't recall the name of the folder. I then added some glitter and liquid pearl to both the white and blue paper.

For the last card I used Christmas Cheer for the snow globe and Christmas Cards for the snowman. The globe was cut at 3.25" and the snowman I think was at 6". I added stickles to the snowman and snowglobe. The green backround paper was run through the Cuttle bug and I added some ribbon I picked up from Ben Franklins.
